After owning and selling vintage colognes from the 1970s; a sure sign of a fragrance coming out of that era is the 'painted on' batch codes featured in this listing. This quirk on perfumery got phased out of production measures during the cologne production boom of the mid to late 1980s leading to more printed inked or glass etched batch codes.
